TL;DR: An 8-year-old girl with hyperphagia and severe obesity, impaired cognitive function, and hyperactivity who harbored a de novo chromosomal inversion is reported, providing direct evidence for the role of the neurotrophin BDNF in human energy homeostasis, as well as in Cognitive function, memory, and behavior.

Enhanced task-related brain activation and resting perfusion in healthy older adults after chronic blueberry supplementation
TL;DR: Significant increases in brain activity were observed in response to blueberry supplementation relative to the placebo group within Brodmann areas 4/6/10/21/40/44/45, precuneus, anterior cingulate, and insula/thalamus, as well as significant improvements in grey matter perfusion in the parietal lobe.

The Cambridge Semantic Memory Test Battery: detection of semantic deficits in semantic dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
TL;DR: An assessment including measures of episodic memory and visuospatial abilities as well as the semantic battery is recommended for good characterisation of the cognitive profiles associated with SD and AD.

Deferred Imitation of Action Sequences in Developmental Amnesia
TL;DR: Patients with developmental amnesia associated with bilateral hippocampal volume reduction show an impairment in incidental nonverbal recall of action sequences, and whether the severity of this memory impairment is influenced by the sequence structure (causal vs. arbitrary).
A meta-analysis of working memory impairments in survivors of moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury.
TL;DR: Evidence for WM impairments following TBI is consistent with previous research, and larger verbal STM and verbal WM deficits were related to a longer time postinjury, suggesting that these aspects of memory do not "recover" over time and instead, individuals might show increased rates of cognitive decline.
